Effect of 1.9-MeV electron irradiation on characteristics of reactively-pressed TiB₂–TiС ceramic composites

摘要

Considered in this paper is the effect of electron irradiation on the phasestructuraludstate and micromechanical characteristics of reactively- and nonreactivelypressedudTiB₂–TiС composite ceramic materials. It is shown that reactively-pressedudspecimens after irradiation demonstrate a growing tendency to phase formation, whichudconsiderably affects proceeding of relaxation processes in them. This special feature ofudreactively-pressed ceramics can improve radiation resistance of construction materials
